Well it has finally happened. Sophie has become a Daddy's girl. I knew it would happen eventually. But so soon!? UGH!
Sophie has always been a Mama's girl. She has preferred me for pretty much everything. She has always wanted me to read to her, play with her, put her to bed, you name it she wanted me. ME the MOM not Dad. However I have seen an evolution taking place in recent months - mostly since Sam came home. Since Sam's arrival Sophie has started wanted her daddy to do more things with her. That made sense. I was spending a lot of time with this new little guy and she reached out to her daddy for attention.
But today I saw something a little different. I asked her if she wanted to go to the mall with me to look at clothes. She said yes but later asked if Daddy could take her instead. What? Daddy take you? Why not me? I told her no that I need to go look for some things. So then she decided she would just stay home with Daddy.
Did you hear that? That noise that sounded like something broke. That would be my heart.
While I am having a hard time with the changing relationship of Sophie and her Daddy I am thankful for it. I am a Daddy's girl so I get it. But it is a little hard to think that she won't always prefer me over anyone else.
She is still my baby and I bet she will still want me to put her to bed tonight.

I know what you mean...My boys ARE Mommy's boys, but it still hurts me for some reason when they choose to be with their daddy over me! I should be glad for the relief but I guess we are naturally selfish. I understand the Daddy's girl thing though...I have always been a Daddy's girl and I miss my daddy so so much. My husband says he wants a girl so he can have him a Daddy's girl! Not happening! lol You will be lucky to have someone to shop with you when she gets older though!
